This fisherman shared his catch with this Brown Pelican creating a lasting bond between them.

Early one morning walking around my back yard I noticed how wet the ground and all of the surroundings were, so I took this shot.

There, in the midst, a flower, you see it, a small sample of beauty, let your light shine little flower.

I can only imagine what God had in mind when he created such beauty. Was it to please us? or?

I walk among you in Spirit. There is peace here, knowing your time has ended. Watching over what remains. For His day is coming, let us all prepare.

I can't help myself... i am so in love with Sunsets and Clouds...

Wishing you all a beautiful Sunday :)

There can be peace within. Let it be said, let it be written!

This Hummingbird Moth is enjoying its day among the very purple blooms.

Just a beautiful to be in the park. You know, we, all of us walk through life not really seeing the beauty around us. On this day, I just looked around, and took this picture. And said to my self, what a beautiful day.

Yesterday early on my way to the hospital for another brain MRI and look! What a gift to start a hard day. Thank You, Jesus.

In the middle of everything around me, I can still play for Him. My heart hears the sound of music, my heart feels the peace, my fingers strum to sooth the soul, this is why I play.

Well we all could do with a little rainbow sometimes, especially nowadays in drought conditions throughout our beautiful blue planet.

"Come on God" .... let's have some of your cooling, refreshing vital rainfall to quench parts of our world desperately trying to survive in extremely arid regions.

We know it's us humans that have caused global warming, but give us a break, let your heavens open and sprinkle us with wonderful cooling life giving water .... Please 💦

Oh' a rainbow would be lovely too! 🌈 💧☔

Love & Peace everyone! 💗

"Twits"

Oh' us humans we are twits,

we ruined our planet we got no wits, the ice caps melted the chill has gone, the weather changed we got it wrong, now we're in a burning ball, drought, panic, we deserve it all.

A shell comes from the sea.

God put there just for me.

I picked it up and put in my pocket.

And there it stay because I forgot it.

And when I found it, I was so glad.

I was thankful to God for the pockets I had.

The End.

ADMIN PIC OF THE WEEK: The Hidden Treasure Group

I am at the top of the mountain and luckily was able to witness the sunset and the wonder it brings.... GOD is really GREAT, His art is more than words can describe. Nature is His beautiful art but most of all, HUMAN is His masterpiece...

Taken in Ozamiz City, PHILIPPINES

This orange leaf with all the rain droplets on it, make it look a little like a small figure holding it's hands up!

I wonder what could be behind it ?????

Maybe it's a wet leek trying it on, muggings are surely on the increase!

Just a little fun to brighten up a rather dull Thursday!

By Sean.

Have a great week everyone :)

the leaves one day,

Come o're the meadows

Put on your dresses

For summer is gone

and the days grow cold."

Some lovely colours in the sky over Donaghadee this morning, and a fast moving incoming tide!! :)

It was a wet and snowy day here, but many things to be thankful for. Alvin was thankful for his feast of seeds and nuts. HFF...enjoy your week end.

Gift Of The Seagull

A lonely seagull flies the winds

Majestic... soaring...gliding wings

A single screech sounds from the sky

Come fly with me... come here and fly

My spirit floats to be a part

I feel the beating of its heart

My soul, one with this bird of sea

Now knows the meaning to fly free

I feel the winds caress my soul

And soar the streams without a goal

My being trembles of delight

A treasure I received tonight

The seagull's flight of soaring high

The gift of what it means to fly

Summer is over

Autumn is here

Golden splender is every where

Green is gone

bright reds, yellows and oranges appear

Leaves litter the backwoods path

that leads to the familiar house.

The paint is chipped and peeling

back from the old wooden swing.

So many hours spent swinging and dreaming- lifting up us and away.

As we sit and admire

the changing season-

I can almost glimpse

the summer of our youth.

Memories of childhood

priceless and dear

forever in our hearts

In autumn when the trees are brown

The little leaves come tumbling down

They do not make the slightest sound

But lie so quietly on the ground

Until the wind comes puffing by

And blows them off towards the sky.

The winds will blow their own freshness into you,

and the storms their energy,

while cares will drop away from you

like the leaves of Autumn.

Fall poem by John Muir

Wishing you all a wonderful day ..(hug)
